Not houses or cars — in 5 years, this will be the most costly thing

These will be the most expensive items during the next five years, not houses or cars.

The worth of everything in life changes as society advances and the economy continues to develop. Previously, everyone felt mansions and vehicles were the most luxurious objects, representing economic power, thus most people wanted to own them.

However, in today’s fast rising economy, people’s lifestyles and attitudes have changed. In five years, the most expensive items may no longer be houses and vehicles, but rather things that are quite simple but cannot be purchased.

Here are some predictions on what will become the most valuable over the next five years:

A stable job

In today’s rapidly changing culture, a solid employment has become the number one goal for many people. A secure employment provides a consistent income that can cover tuition and daily expenditures for a family, fosters solid relationships with coworkers, and allows for a high-quality existence. Many young individuals nowadays prefer a huge salary over earning tiny amounts each month. However, not everyone can attain this, and it will remain a goal in the coming years.

Healthy food

Food evolves in tandem with the economy and society, with substantial implications for people’s health. In today’s fast-paced world, many people prefer takeout or fast meals to save time. Although handy, these foods offer a number of health and food safety concerns. It is difficult to maintain control over the freshness and quality of ingredients in takeout or fast meals. This situation may worsen in the next five years, raising the value of safe and healthful food.

Health

Looking back, our parents (the 60s and 70s age) believed that the most important goal in life was to have adequate food and clothing. By the 1980s and 1990s, society had progressed beyond basic needs, with the goal of being wealthier than others. Nowadays, many individuals seek wealth and comfort, often at the expense of their health. In the future, health will be the most valued possession, surpassing money.
